Rod Stewart postponed two concerts at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, originally scheduled for Monday, June 15, and Tuesday, June 16, 2026 [1].
The postponement affects one of the most iconic outdoor venues in the U.S. and comes as the singer manages his health while maintaining a global touring schedule.
